Uneasy Alliance

After we arrived back in Tirna, we couldn't hide who am I anymore. We tried to give news to Titania as fast as we could. We signed the paper of alliance and left without a trace. We headed for the vampire castle next. To hide who I am, The queen gave me a white-blue robe. This way, anyone could mistake me for a snow angel as long they don't see the marks on me. After a long trip that felt like months, we arrived at the castle of Damdavir. An underground castle.

S: I've seen you practice a lot. Did you manage to fly yet?

C: Yes, but only for like a second. Then I fell to the ground. This is hard.

S: You will get used to it. And when you do, you can also hide it.

C: That would be nice.

S: Back to the topic. Vampires are at war with the werewolves, and vampires are low on blood supplies. Don't wander off, and be on your guard.

C: Can't I just compel them?

S: I highly doubt you can do that to all of them at once.

C: I'll try not to do anything stupid.

Walking around an underground city gave me chills. But we were almost there. But before we could reach the castle, we got ambushed.

???: Well, well. The rumors are true. A Sol traveling alongside a snow angel. It was bold of you to come here,

S: We are messengers. We seek an alliance in the name of Titania against The Forgotten One.

???: I'm sure she won't mind if we have a little fun first.

At the speed of sound, they pinned down Sebastian to the ground.

S: Sebastian! Itda-

???: No spellcasting, little angel.

They covered my mouth and held me tight.

???: Don't worry. This won't take long.

The one holding me down bent my head to the side. I felt a sharp, stinging sensation for a second. Then he pulled away from me. He started screaming as his flesh started rotting away rapidly.

???: You whore, what did you do to him?!

S: You should have asked permission first.

???: You are joking, right?

C: Itdarii aalii lisalaslaib.

They all stood paralyzed.

C: Realise him now.

The two men let go of Sebastian. After one of them died, only the 3 of them remained.

???: Just who do you think you are?

S: I'm surprised you didn't realize it by now.

C: Take a guess.

???: That can't be.

C: Now. Tell us your name.

P. Edward: My name is Prince Edward. And these two are my guards. So was the other one.

S: Perfect. Escort us to your father.

P. Edward: No way.

C: You heard the men. Escort us to your father.

P. Edward: I said-

His legs started moving on their own, making their way inside the castle. We arrived at the throne room and presented ourselves to the king.

S: King Zintius. A pleasure. We came seeking an alliance against The Forgotten One.

K. Zintius: Release my son, and you may speak.

C: Qaltii.

K. Zintius: Shackeld by an mere snow angel. Have you no shame?

P. Edward: But father.

K. Zintius: Silence. I do not want to hear it. Now, where were we?

S: Yes. We want to offer you all of Trina's bloodstone supply for your alliance against The Forgotten One.

K. Zintius: That is a tempting offer, but I'm afraid I have to decline. We are at war, as you know. Sun protection is not a problem right now since our enemies are wolves.

S:...

K. Zintius: Unless you have something better to offer, I'm afraid you have to leave.

C: I have something better.

S: Cornelia, don't.

K. Zintius: This sounds interesting.

C: I offer a vial of my blood. And I would also go to the frontline to end this foolish war. Peacefully.

K. Zintius: Your blood does taste good, but it's worthless. And I doubt a lonely angel can make peace with those thugs.

I grabbed my robes and took them off, revealing my marks. Only a pair of shorts and a top remained on me.

C: My name is Cornelia Avexis Moon. Daughter of the Queen of the Lunari, the High Priestess, and the Prince of Nightmares.

The king stood up from his throne and walked in front of me.

K. Zintius: Your blood may be the strongest among the people. I'll accept your proposal, and I offer you a place in our court as a trusted ally and friend.

C: That is genrous offer. What's the catch?

K. Zintius: I want your chaos-infused blood.

C: If that's the price of the alliance. I'll accept. Sebastian. I trust you here more than anyone. Would you be so kind as to extract my blood?

S: Yes. I try to make it quick. - And be careful. Don't let the chaos slip you away.- He whispered.

C: Thank you. I nodded

C: Utaibahahdla haimla. Aadwafla disajut. Awadla kalhatsia. I felt the chaos in my entire body flowing through me. The mark on my stomach turned golden black. It spread much faster than the last time. Sebastian cut my hand and filled a glass vail with my blood. It was a little different from normal. It sparkled like gold-colored glitter was also added to it. When Sebastian finished, I stopped the chaos flow. I felt cold and a little weak, but since I didn't use it nor let it run wild in me for a long time, it didn't tire me out. Our alliance was secured.
